Welcome to the Q&A Forum

hi I try to find good keywords to rank a “dog day care” site for and can't seem to find anything that makes sense. This is a company that sells franchises of their service – dog day care. So there is a “mother site” where they advertise service in general and try to sell franchises. If you go “pet franchise”; “pet franchises”; “dog day care franchise” etc – you get virtually zero traffic keywords. On the other hand if I use “doggy day care” it will bring mostly people who are looking for a place to leave their dog for a day. Doesn't make sense either way. Same goes for local sites. If you look at “doggy day care location” it brings next to nothing. Using “doggy day care” without specific location doesn't make sense either, as certain location applies only to people living in say 50 mile radius. I would really appreciate any ideas how to approach this. How to promote small “dog day care” franchising company? And how to promote particular locations? Thank you in advance, JJ

Hi, Does anybody know what can I do with those “duplicate content pages”? 1/ home page shows 4 different urls with different parameters. Should I use meta-robots tag to eliminate it? Or block it in robots.txt? http://screencast.com/t/xqNiowCYBwgh 2/ Also, there are dozens of duplicates created by the “gallery system”. Like this: http://screencast.com/t/qTq4YERG All showing for the same url. There are multiple pages for each location. Some people told me that it's irrelevant for rankings anyway. I suggested getting rid of flash website alltogether and getting a smooth wordpress installation, but it's not an option. Can you please help me with it? Best Regards, JJ

Hi, How important do you think the image file names are for image search?
I know it used to be the best practice a while ago but is it still important? Thanks in advance, JJ

Hi,
I have a couple trivial questions regarding google search and the way Moz keyword reports are working. 1/ is it true that google moved to ssl encrypted protocol and doesn't release keyword data anymore? 2/ if so than how Moz still manages to collect this data? Is it because of api or some other “deal” with them? Or you're paying for it. 3/ Why is “traffic from organic search” only for one week? Or I am missing something . http://screencast.com/t/rslio5ZSKAx It would be great to:
a/ go month by month (my client is requiring monthly reports)
b/ compare one week/month with another to see if it's getting better or worse. Thanks in advance,
JJ

Hi, According to seomoz report I have two 404 errors on my site. (http://screencast.com/t/2FG8fA1dvGB) I removed them from google webmasters central about 2 weeks ago (http://screencast.com/t/MQ8XBvrFm ) , but they're still showing as an error in the next report (weekly update). Is there anything else you do about 404 or just remove urls through gwc? Or maybe seomoz data is delayed? Thanks in advance, JJ

Hi, What would be the best hosting company to go with if I want to promote my site in the UK? Right now it's hostgator and I know I'll have to change it. Should I get something located in the UK (logic would suggest it) and rather dedicated server (very expensive, especially if you're using wordpress) or shared hosting will do? Thanks in advance, JJ

Hi, I'm reviewing somebodies site and just realized that it's overflown with duplicates. Like these: <colgroup><col width="3496"></colgroup>
